Gelato Fiasco Cookie Therapy Gelato

[By Nick] To say I've been jealous of Dubba and his shipment from Gelato Fiasco would be an understatement, especially given the fact he offered to have them send me the shipment but I felt like I had already had the majority of samples sent to me this year. So when I saw that the new Fresh Market in Saratoga carried GF, I might have done a heel click right then and there. Since Dubba has covered a majority of the flavors they stocked, I decided to grab a couple he hasn't reviewed and one that he had but sounded too good to pass up.

Gelato Fiasco Cookie Therapy Gelato

Described as "Crushed creme-filled cookies blended into milky gelato" this sounds almost like a gelato version of Chocolate Shoppe's Ultimate Oreo which I declared to be my favorite cookies and cream of all-time. I mean they're using a milky gelato base so mix in those bits of cookies and you essentially will have an oreo cookie based flavor.

After having my first spoonful, it was love at first bite. Just like I had thought, this is Ultimate Oreo's Italian brother and, wait for it, I enjoyed it more. You see, the base gives you that milk dunked Oreo flavor. The fact companies use normal vanilla ice cream as their base for cookies and cream is beyond me after tasting these bases. The milkiness just works so well.

Then you add the abundance amount of sandwich cookie pieces and bits throughout the pint. While it may not look like it, there are some decent sized chunks in this one. Though not as big as Chocolate Shoppe's, I did run into half of an intact cookie which I devoured with pleasure. They don't use Oreos (to my knowledge) but these cookies are very close. That's not all though!

What makes this one perfect to me is the texture. You all know I prefer authentic gelato texture to traditional ice cream and Gelato Fiasco has mastered that and more. This stuff destroys all of the mainstream brands and is on par with my beloved G.S. Gelato. The gelato is rich, velvety and just all around perfect.

I'm kicking myself even more now for letting Dubba have that shipment. These guys in Maine know what they're doing. If you have access to this flavor, you're doing yourself an injustice by not picking it up. There's really nothing else I can say. Just buy it, eat it and leave me a comment telling me how right I am.

Now excuse me while I decide which flavor of theirs next to try.

Verdict?  Where has this been all of my life?
Buy Again?  What do you think?

Side Note: If you're ever bored, head on over to the Gelato Fiasco flavor vault and just look at all of the glorious flavors they've created. I've made my way through all 33 pages and I'm considering moving into one of their shops.
